Highways for LIFE

Highways for LIFE is all about building faster, safer, with better quality, less cost and causing less work zone congestion. And innovation is the key. What are some of those innovations? And how are states using them?

The new Highways for LIFE Web site includes several items aimed at telling you exactly that. Like the “Innovation On Ramp,” a toolbox for innovations and technologies. Also, there are Success Stories collected from around the country, and the statutory language of Highways for LIFE from SAFETEA-LU.

Take a look at the new site at www.fhwa.dot.gov/hfl
